Description

The main purpose of this system is to control and deal with two major construction site problems simultaneously by computer: interference between tower cranes in a multi-crane site and the protection of no-go zones. The system can provide real-time supervision and monitoring for up to *0 tower cranes in one single site, as well as saving records for tracking and checking. The system contributes to productivity on site by allowing operators to work at maximum safe speed and optimizing the use of cranes. It continuously calculates the relative locations of jib-arms and trolleys of the tower crane within the network that might interfere with each other. Upon detecting that there are possibilities of tower cranes interfering or even colliding with anther one or the tower crane hook(or jib)overstepping into the no-go “sensitive”(protected)zones, such as streets, highways, schools, public areas, and power lines etc., the system will give pre-alarm first until the operating system of the tower crane works, stopping the operation, thus keeping the possibilities of accidents from happening due to negligence or misjudgment by the operator and guaranteeing safe operation of the tower crane.
